I know that defense was bad last year but it was mostly poor tackling and poor play in general by the DB’s.

Thank you, I hadn’t heard that yet…And I am very glad to hear it is only a calf strain.

I think it’s too early to say. Over the long-run it would be no surprise to see occasional years produce both low and high injury numbers with respect to the mean. I think you’d really need a comprehensive report breaking down the numbers before trying to generate an objective analysis as to what the trends look like and if this is an outlier year or not.

The league does try to increase and promote safety when it can, and it’s still trying to do more each and every year. It’s not great for business to have players go down due to injury. So at some point in time you might see those graphs curving downward at some point in time. Now or recently in the past would likely be the peak time of injuries I would guess.

Mon, 29 Jul 2013 16:25:45 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2199292#comment-2683348That CBA they signed to limit how much they wore pads, practiced, had to get accountable for being in shape, is really helping these guys out now, isn’t it? Some of the higher paid guys are even having trouble passing their tests to get on the field! Too bad too many of them get there money then forget why they are paid!

Mon, 29 Jul 2013 16:05:04 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2199292#comment-2683286Is it just me, or is there an inordinate number of season-ending injuries before there’s even been a preseason game? There usually are at least a handful of serious injuries before September, but they usually don’t happen until after at least the first week of preseason.

I dont ever remember seeing this many season ending injuries in the first 3 days of camp…
